Lawyer burnout is real. I share my story as a former litigator and why women lawyers don’t have to keep surviving this way.
On paper, I had it all. I was a plaintiffs-side civil rights litigator handling complex class actions. I looked driven, competent, and successful. But behind the curtain, I was exhausted, cynical, and constantly second-guessing myself. I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Looking back, I know that wasn’t true.
In this episode of The Lawyer Burnout Solution, I share my story and why I started this podcast. You will hear what I wish I had known earlier: the problem wasn’t that I was weak or not cut out for law. It was that I had been trained into a system that rewards lawyers for overriding their own limits and punishes them for slowing down.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why I created The Lawyer Burnout Solution and why this work matters to me personally.
- My background as a civil rights litigator and how that shaped my perspective on burnout and systemic pressure in law.
- The invisible conditioning women lawyers absorb that fuels overwork, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
- What finally shifted my path from survival mode to a more sustainable way of being.
- How tools like the TEA Practice and the Mindset Matrix helped me break the cycle and rebuild self-trust.
💡 Takeaway: You are not broken. The system is. Every time you set a boundary, reclaim rest without guilt, or choose presence over perfectionism, you are not just healing yourself. You are also helping to shift the culture of law.
If you have ever wondered whether you are the only one struggling, I want you to know you're not alone. This podcast is here to give you honest stories, practical tools, and a vision of what's possible when women lawyers stop surviving and start building careers that actually feel good.
